You will want k3 if you take d2.
Highly recommend getting tested for D deficiency.
Source. I used to have crippling migraines almost every day. I don’t anymore.
- robg 4y agoI used to get crippling Seasonal Affective Disorder every year, got tested, was badly deficient, and now don’t anymore.
- bigcloud1299 4y agoHow did you all resolve the deficiencies? Can you link any product you took? I am in need of Vitamin D.
- jeremyt 4y agoSee Dr Berg: https://youtu.be/NFxQJmvgXOQ https://youtu.be/NFxQJmvgXOQ
- idiocrat 4y agoI watched the 4 min video. Unfortunately Dr Berg seems not to consider the concept of biological half-time. I am sure he know the concept, just forgot to put it into his calculation formula. He basically assumes that if his patient consumes 2000 IU vitamin D today, then tomorrow his patient has depleted all 2000 IU and has zero vitamin D in patient's blood. This is obviously wrong.
- hombre_fatal 4y agoThat guy is a scientologist quack btw. Here's one example of how incompetent he is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvKNzLRmzLg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvKNzLRmzLg He basically turns low quality listicle nutrition pointers into videos with a whiteboard.
- robg 4y ago1. Get tested 2. If low, start taking D3 with K 3. Keep taking D3 with K 4. Get tested again 5. Take more if no improvement I take 5000 IU most days.
- outime 4y agoYou’ve mixed them up - it’s D3 with K2.
- hombre_fatal 4y agoFWIW, your gut already synthesizes K2 from K1. K1 is easy to get from green leafy vegetables from spinach to broccoli, though I suppose easy to avoid if you don't eat well. K2 from dietary doses of meat (MK-4) doesn't change circulating levels of MK-4 — it's basically not bioavailable. Though K2 from fermented products like cheeses and natto (MK-7) is bioavailable. Doesn't seem like something worth worrying about if you have a varied diet that includes green veggies.
- mgraupner 4y agoMay I ask if you had gut/intestine problems before?
- treeman79 4y agoYes. Had tons of random problems. Ended up being autoimmune Sjogrens and a clotting disorder. Diet changes and supplements are how I got thing under control for most issues. Blood thinners for Clotting since That’s way to dangerous, and no combination of anything else helped. LDN covers symptoms when I’m not strict about diet.
- mgraupner 4y agoInteresting. I had similar symptoms like migraine/brain fog, stiff neck and muscle tension as soon as October (winter in Central Europe) came. Tested for Vitamin D deficiency and had super low levels. Since taking supplements I feel good in winter for the first time in probably 5 years. I'm also a very outdoorsy person, so getting enough sun is not always a sure way wo have high levels of Vitamin D.
- jerf 4y ago"Sun" is definitely not sufficient. Vitamin D synthesis requires UVB exposure [1] and that plummets to effectively zero in the higher latitudes in the winter: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5037520/#sec3-nutrients-08-00533title https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5037520/#sec3-n... By "higher latitudes" I mean considered on a global scale; continental Europe is effectively all at these "higher latitudes".

- treeman79 4y agoLook up IIH. High cranial pressure. Comment about stiff neck is a big clue.
